Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, as thick fog blankets the area and keeps conditions quite gloomy. With a maximum air temperature of 23.2 °C, it feels mild, but the lack of sunshine makes it far from an ideal day for sunbathing. If you do head to the shore, be aware that the UV Index is high at 7.45, so protection is still necessary despite the grey sky. The water remains quite chilly at 19.2 °C, making it too cold for comfortable swimming. Winds are very light and the sea is calm, but the persistent fog significantly dampens the overall beach experience. It is best to save your trip for a clearer, warmer day.
